To Whom It May Concern:
The purpose of this letter is to offer a general recommendation for Ryan Brennan to prospective employers who might be interested in utilizing him within their organizations. Although I cannot comment specifically on fit within a specific company, I can tell you what I perceive to be Ryan’s general strengths that would make him an asset in a variety of different work environments.
First, I would argue that Ryan has very good critical thinking, analytical, research, and writing skills. When he took my graduate level Qualitative Research Methods class, he turned in work that was generally superior to many of his classmates. I could always tell he paid great attention to detail and worked hard to make strong, well-developed arguments in his assignments. His response papers to weekly readings showed a real effort to digest the material on a deeper level and his final paper provided evidence that he understood the structure and rigors of academic research. His evaluation of a “mock” qualitative interview was impressive enough that I still use it as a sample of good work for other students.
Second, I would suggest that Ryan has a drive unlike most students we’ve had come through our graduate program. I’ve been teaching in our Master of Arts in Professional Communication (MAPC) program at SUU since its inception in 2005 and I would place Ryan in the top 10% in terms of sheer determination and focus. If you need something done well, I’m sure you could count on him to do it. Because Ryan was an online student, I didn’t have quite as many interpersonal interactions with him as I may have with some of our face-to-face students. However, I interacted with him frequently during my class through email and we’ve exchanged messages from time to time since his graduation last year. He is an amiable and pleasant young man. I look forward to seeing what he might do in his future endeavors and would encourage anyone looking for someone skilled and dependable to give him a second look when trying to fill important positions within their organizations.
If you have any additional questions for me, I can be reached by phone at (435) 586-7874 or by email at [email protected].
Sincerely,

Letter of Recommendation for Ryan Brennan
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to you in regard to Ryan Brennan who is applying to a position within your company. I had the pleasure of hiring and working with Ryan at the Bear Lake Marina Side KOA in Garden City, Utah. I hired him as a front desk receptionist for the entire 2020 summer season.
Ryan is a solid example of persistence, humor, and articulation. He completed his work in a timely manner while creating a positive experience for all of our campers. Ryan quickly learned how to manage our computerized systems to make reservations and check-in our campers. He also communicated our policies clearly with everyone. Ryan clarified important points constantly and made our operation run more smoothly.
Ryan has been both admired and respected by supervisors, co-workers, and others visiting the grounds. He rises to any occasion and works well in a team environment to accomplish tasks. He thinks analytically and overcomes problems well, which are both admirable traits. Ryan flourishes in these situations.
To conclude, I have no hesitation in recommending Ryan Brennan for a position within your company. If you have any further questions regarding Ryan's ability or this recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
I’m writing to you in regards to Ryan Brennan who is applying for your graduate program. I had the pleasure of hiring and working with Ryan at BYU-Idaho Radio in Rexburg, Idaho. I hired him as a radio news producer for the fall semester of 2015 and he worked for me until he graduated in April 2016.
I have a very particular way I like stories written for our broadcasts and Ryan was able to pick up the style quickly. He would write and produce stories for our news cut-ins during National Public Radio’s All Things Considered broadcast. Besides writing stories, he would also call sources to conduct interviews either over the phone or in person.
Ryan was able to grow in his understanding of our operation. He also grew as a student and a person. Conducting interviews are tough, especially over the phone when you’ve never talked to the person before (not to mention using all of our equipment correctly). During his first couple of interviews I could tell he was a little nervous to do everything correctly. He quickly overcame his anxieties and became a very capable interviewer.
Ryan also took a radio practicum class from me, during which I had him create a podcast. His podcast was an interview format. He also used this podcast as his senior project. During the semester as we consulted about the podcast, he was able to take my suggestions and make his podcast even better.
If you listen to Ryan, you immediately notice his voice. In my program, I try to teach students how to use their voice for professional radio work. Ryan’s voice naturally sounded pleasant, but we were able to work together to get it to sound even better.
I have no hesitation in recommending Ryan for your program. If you have any questions for me about Ryan, please give me a call or email.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing on behalf of Ryan Brennan. Ryan was an intern with us at KID Newsradio and the Rich Broadcasting group of stations. As an intern, Ryan worked in our Idaho Falls office in the summer of 2015.
Ryan has a lot of energy and enthusiasm for broadcasting and the media. He was willing to work hard and volunteered for additional assignments. Ryan has a genuine interest in others and a desire to get to know those around him.
Ryan also has a nice voice for radio and was able to record some Public Service announcements for our stations.
Thank you,
